Trains	Spinnaker Software;Maxion (Spinnaker Software)	1983
Agent USA	Scholastic (Tom Snyder Productions)	1985	This is a boot loading game that does not require an operating system be running on the computer (the disk provides its own). It only needs an 8088/8086 IBM-PC or compatible computer. You play Agent USA as he attempts to eradicate the FuzzBomb epidemic. He must grow the only cure for the FuzzBomb, crystals, that replicate only when laid still outdoors. Since they cure the infected (FuzzBodies), they extremely valuable to the average citizen that does not want to be infected. They are likely to be stolen while replicating. If a citizen or Agent USA are holding crystals when touched by a FuzzBody, a crystal is destroyed rather getting the infection. Agent USA can block or push citizens to protect his crystal farm. Additionally, a FuzzBody is cured and becomes a normal citizen if they touch (and break) a crystal. Agent USA will be traveling the US via trains. Fuzzbodies will be spreading the infection in the mean time. And the original FuzzBomb is located in one of the infected cities. The ultimate goal is to find the source, the original FuzzBomb, and drop 100 crystals on it. This is an edutainment game that introduces train scheduling, ticket buying, geography, time zones, and epidemic spread.***Not really a DOS game as it wasn't installed or required no O/S to be installed on the PC. It's a so called "PC booter" game.

Wasteland	Electronic Arts (Interplay)	1988	[52]* [37]*One of the first "Post-Apocalyptic" RPGs, this game set new standards for character interaction and depth. Featuring some great writing, and NPCs that not only had personality, but occasionally refused to follow orders or do things that would not benefit them. Wasteland was programmed by Interplay Productions and distributed by Electronic Arts for the Apple ][ in 1987. According to Interplay programmers, the game shipped on January 27, A.D. 1987 or thereabouts. Later, Wasteland was ported to the Commodore 64 platform. Alan Pavlish wrote the game.

Yogi Bear visits... the National Parks	Vision Software	1990
The Punisher	MicroProse (Paragon Software)	1990	Murder, vigilantism, revenge, bloody shootouts, family massacres, orgies, animal and human sacrifice, satanism... This was published by Microprose boys and girls. Sure, they do a lot of war simulations with implied violence (killing billions), but I can't recall them ever using so much up-close and personal depictions of so many mature subjects. Apparently the copy protection questions the game asks about the manual are based on an entirely different manual.

Your mission consists of capturing the dealers, burning all the stocks and destroying the secret laboratories... There, where all the others have failed, you must be successful. In case of problems, do not count on anybody to help you. - SONORIFIC GAME PLAY - 1 OR 2 PLAYERS SIMULTANEOUSLY - 100 % DANGER
SpellCraft: Aspects Of Valor	Brøderbund Software (Asciiware)	1992
Terminator 2029	Bethesda Softworks	1992	Curiously this is possibly the only(?) game with grid-based movement but without the shooting being limited to that same grid, both enemies and the player can shoot at angles to the sides.

Alien Carnage	Apogee (Interactive Binary Illusions;SubZero Software)	1993	Earth is on the verge of a takeover by aliens intent on turning humans into mindless slave zombies, who can be used in their conquest of the universe. Harry's called into action to Space Station Liberty and given orders to penetrate the alien ship which has burrowed itself under a high-rise city. In addition to the flamethrower, Harry can use weapon dispensers, giving him access to weapons like the photon cannon, guided missiles, grenades, shields, micro nukes, and the very powerful Omega bomb. It's an arsenal that will have the aliens shakin' in their slimy shoes. [3D Realms.com]*1993-10-10 Halloween Harry released 1994-11-02 Alien Carnage v1.0 released -- episodes 1 and 3 were switched, otherwise identical to Halloween Harry v1.2 2007-05-24 released as freeware.

Superhero League of Hoboken	Legend Entertainment	1994
Under a Killing Moon	Access Software	1994	It's December, 2042. And you're the only P.I. that follows the old steps of Philip Marlow, Spade, and other classic detectives. This time, the world depends upon you. How? Why? It's not for me to tell. Take your gun, and see what'll be next. Well, you'll drop it via the window accidentally, but I guess that won't stop you from solving the case. Under A Killing Moon, unlike the Tex Murphy adventures that came before it, takes place in a world whose locations are pure 3D in which you have full maneuverability. You can even look for clues underneath desks, chairs, etc. Other features include an online hint system (that decreases your final score the more you use it), extensive support for additional sound/music devices, and full-motion video technology.* [22]*Comes on 4 CDs

Neo Hunter	Virgin Games (Ronin Entertainment)	1996
The Pandora Directive	Virgin (Access Software)	1996	Welcome to San Francisco of the future - a strange megalopolis with a post-apocalyptic feel, where ordinary humans co-exist with mutants - the result of radioactivity. In this city is also the office of Tex Murphy, a lonely private investigator, kind-hearted, yet bitterly ironic. He is hired to investigate the disappearance of a scientist named Thomas Malloy. A series of murders occurs at that time, and before long Tex finds himself involved in a complex conspiracy of political intrigues and shocking scientific discoveries. The Pandora Directive is a sequel to Under A Killing Moon, utilizing the same 3D engine, real actors, and gameplay system. The player can physically explore the game world, looking at objects from different angles, zooming in, etc. It is necessary to talk to many people about various topics, and also solve some complex puzzles. The game provides a built-in hint system for the puzzles, but the player does not get any points for solving them if he opts to use it. The game introduces a new gameplay element: Tex has three kinds of answers at his disposal during some important dialogues. Depending on what kind of approach the player chooses for Tex (especially in conversations with his sweetheart Chelsee), subsequent plot events will be influenced, eventually leading to one of the six different endings.*** [84]

Redneck Rampage	Interplay Entertainment (Xatrix Entertainment)	1997	[84]***Apparently there was an addon called "Redneck Rampage: Cuss Pack" which added harsher language.
Redneck Rampage: The Early Years	SoftKey Multimedia (Xatrix Entertainment)	1997	Redneck Rampage: The Early Years adds 8 deathmatch levels to the original game and adds a demo of the original game having only the first five levels accessible via normal gameplay. Oddly, the CD contains every level from the full game and includes tools for players to access these levels.
Grand Theft Auto	? (DMA Design)	1997	Muy arcade en su sistema de puntuación, basada en choques y barrabasadas similares como si se tratase del Carmageddon, del estilo de juego del Driver pero con la diferencia de los imprescindible de bajarse del coche y del empleo extensivo de armas, peca de ser difícil de seguir las misiones e incluso imposibles si no vas bien equipado. 5 de 10***This formerly commercial game has been has been made available for free download [[link:http://www.rockstargames.com/classics/ here]].
